L3 Fundraiser

In the past seven days I’ve finished a film for Darryl Gold’s Montreal porn fest, shot another for the Dora Awards, wrote a script to pitch to Sympatico/MSNand celebrated my mother’s 80th birthday!

But it’s not over yet… We’re holding a fundraiser tomorrow night for the Fringe show I’ll be in this summer. Here are the details, from the official release:

Lust’s Labour’s Lost: A Rock Musical

FUNDRAISER

What else is there to do on a Sunday night other than support your fellow artist on their mission to mount a Fringe show? NOTHING! So come out and have a drink or five and mow on some good pub grub and see some of the top entertainment a fundraiser could provide!! Bring your friends and family and people you run into on the street – ALL ARE WELCOME!

WHERE: Clinton’s Tavern, 693 Bloor Street West

WHEN: THIS Sunday night, May 29th at 8pm

HOW MUCH: $10 + pocket change for great cause!

WHO: Several of the lusty cast members of the show itself

Mark Hickox as Heino, the German wonderboy we all long for! Andrew Pifko doing stand-up, fasten your seat-belts people! It’s gonna be a hellova a funny ride!! Bruce Hunter, only Toronto’s top improv comic doing his thang, yo! Brock Simpson, the man behind the madness, singing and playing up a storm.

A couple of chick-side-kicks and who knows what else?! Could be crazy, could be wild, could be the best Sunday night you’ve ever had. SO DON’T MISS IT!!!

“Lust’s Labour’s Lost: A Rock Musical” is a contemporary musical adaptation of Shakespeare’s whimsical comedy “Love’s Labour’s Lost”. In place of lords and princes, we have the rock band “Pretty Petty” who sequester themselves at a cottage in Northern Ontario, swearing off sex, drugs, and booze for three weeks, on the driven onus to write their new album. Things go awry when “the ladies” arrive in the guise of an all-girl-grunge-band: “Eden’s Eve”. Full of estrogen-fueled angst and Elizabethan complications, this tale of lust and love lock horns and guitar-driven show-tunes wail in a moonlit grove of fantastic characters, kooky calamities and a bit of good old booty shaking! General Audience / Warning: profanity, archaic pronouns, exposed navels.

The show will open at The Toronto Fringe Festival on July 7th at The Tarragon Mainspace
